Guess Day, Time, Weigh, Sex...Win Prizes

08/06/08

I found a site that will let everyone guess the sex, day, time, weight and length of baby Carter. Each category carries a point value. The winner is the person with the fewest points. The point deductions are as follows:

Wrong gender: 400 points ~ Birth date: 5 points/hour
Weight: 5 points/ounce ~ Length: 10 points / inch

For example, if you pick the gender wrong you have 400 points and if you pick it right you have 0 points. Again, the winner is the person with the fewest points. You should be able to click the box near the top of the blog on the right and it will take you right to it. If that doesn't work then the link is http://www.expectnet.com/index.php. The game name is ourfirstbaby-kcandla. The only thing missing is a prize. I wish there was a way to collect money for each guess. In lieu of a cash prize, the winner gets to keep baby Carter for the weekend of our choice. Now that's a prize! Just think you can experience the excitement of having a child in your house without actually having to get pregnant. This is perfect for those that are thinking about having children. For those that already have children, this is a perfect chance to relive the joy of having an infant around the house. It could also be helpful for those that are on the fence about having another child (Baby Carter could use a few good playmates). Good Luck! This is exciting!

PS - I have added everyone that guessed at the shower. However, they did not guess the actual time. If you guessed at the baby shower, you can guess again and I will delete your first guess.

PPS - Here are some statistics for the math nerds(just kidding...its a joke) to help everyone make an educated guess. Going back to our parents family (I think that's two generation), on the Carter side we have 4 males and 7 females - 1:1.75 male to female ratio; Ulmer/Murdock side we have 15 males and 5 females (that's a lot of testostrone) - 3:1 male to female ratio; So the total is 19 males to 12 females - 1.59:1 male to female. What does all this mean? Our chances of having a male is almost doubled (if you allow for rounding). These statistics could be supported by the fact that the last two babies born were a boy and a girl which means based on the statistics a male would be next. So the math says were having a boy but I guess it really back to what I told you earlier the best odds Vegas would give us is a fifty-fifty shot at having a male or female. Good luck guessing...
